Right in the middle of City Center. Friendly staff and decent rooms. Not impressed with cleanliness or service in dining room for breakfast.

As the name describes, it is well located. Mass transit is very close by which negates the need for a rental car unless you are heading out of the City. The hotel is very clean, modern with a well trained staff. Rooms and interior look recently remodeled with new-looking furnishings and efficient layout. A restaurant and small bar are part... More

We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott while on our honeymoon and could not have been more impressed with our experience. The hotel is conveniently located downtown, the room was well appointed - not large but not small, but where the hotel stood out was in the service we received from the front desk, particularly Kevin (and an honourable mention to...

Very close to train station, to the famous Powell's Books and most things in downtown Portland. Very pleasant, clean, modern, non-fussy, clean line furnishing in the room and the lobby and you can get agreat deal if you do not need to park car overnight. I was most impressed by the high ceilings and the airiness despite the lack of... More

We wanted to stay downtown for the restaurants and things to do, but needed a car to get to events on the edge of the city. This hotel offered a great AAA rate with valet parking. Location was perfect: close to good restaurants, food carts, Powell's Books, light rail, and the waterfront. Staff was friendly, always asking if we needed... More

This was a standard entry in the Courtyard chain. I appreciate their value, pretty decor, and free Wireless Internet. Unfortunately, the wireless in my room was usually very very slow such that I mostly ended up using my telephone. Sort of defeats the purpose.
